A more correct reference is the documentation:
	<http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/doc/extensions.html>

This wasn't quite right.  The saxonbatch script overrides CLASSPATH,
without caring about its earlier setting.  Giving a -cp argument to
saxonbatch put it after the class name, where it didn't work.  So I
had to run the saxon class directely with an appropriate classpath:

SAXON_CP=/usr/share/java/classes/saxon/saxon.jar
SAXONEXT_CP=/var/www/html/xml/styles/docbook-xsl-1.48/extensions/saxon65.jar
SAXON=java -cp $(SAXONEXT_CP):$(SAXON_CP) com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet

# XML -> HTML
%.html: %.xml
	$(SAXON) -o $@ $< $(HTMLSTYLE)

"SAXONEXT_CP" is wherever you have the appropriate .jar file in an
installed DocBook-XSL distribution.
